ISBN: 0415912547 ISBN-13: 9780415912549 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $47.45 Product Type: Paperback Published: December 1996 Annotation: This groundbreaking volume of all new essays covers two topics- feminism and families- which, for all their centrality in our culture, have not been adequately examined in the light of one another. While the family has suffered feminist neglect, most women in fact live their lives within the social context of families, even at a time need when the concept of concept of 'family' has become bewilderingly unstable. The intersection of families and feminism is thus in need of philosophical reflection, as a basis both for good public policy and for the ethical relationships of intimate life. |

| Publisher Description: A ground-breaking volume of all new essays covering the conjunction of two topics--feminism and families--that, for all their centrality in our culture, have not been adequately examined in light of one another. While the family has suffered feminist neglect, most women are in fact members of families, living their lives within the social context of families, even at a time when the concept of "family" has become bewilderingly unstable. The intersection of families and feminism is thus one in need of philosophical reflection, as a basis both for good public policy and for the ethical relationships of intimate life. |
